Poet Nicholas Vachel Lindsay and his sister, Olive Catharine Lindsay, attended Hiram College. Olive graduated in 1901. Vachel attended for 3 years (1896-1899) but did not graduate. Although Vachel did not do well in the scientific course in which his physician father made him enroll, he was extremely fond of Hiram and always regretted not graduating. He received an honorary degree in 1930. Olive married her Hiram sweetheart, Paul Wakefield, son of a Hiram professor; and the two went to China as missionaries for the Disciples of Christ.
